To find the wavelength, the following formula applies:
λ = ν / f
That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency
So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave
Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s,
so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave
Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.

How does the wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of the sound wave through an open window?
The wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of a sound wave through an open window because the wavelength can determine how fast the diffraction is moving; therfore, causing the sound to be either lower or higher.I think :)
The wavelength of a sound wave is 18 cm. The frequency of the wave is 1900 Hz. What is the speed of the sound wave?
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
What describes the wavelength of a sound wave?
no options given to answer
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength

Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
The wavelength of a sound wave is 18 cm. The frequency of the wave is 1900 Hz. What is the speed of the sound wave?
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
What sound does a longitudinal wave make?
It depends on the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?
Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
What happens to the wavelength of a sound wave after reflection?
it changes
What describes the wavelength of a sound wave?
no options given to answer
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
